Paramedics at the scene said they found the driver, David Michael D'Augustine, and passengers Samuel Carl Schindler and Katherine Marie Warrington trapped inside the car. All three were 22 years old and pronounced dead at the scene.

The only survivor, Michael Lee Phillips, 23, was pulled from the vehicle by fire personnel and flown to Shock Trauma, where he remained in critical condition Monday.

"I've known these guys since high school. They were all good guys," friend Michael Winters told 11 News. "It's really unfortunate. I've been talking with a bunch of friends today, and everyone seems really devastated by it."

A preliminary investigation indicated the Subaru was traveling fast and that D'Augustine lost control on a curve and veered off the roadway. The car crashed into a light pole, ricocheted off a tree, rolled over and smashed into another tree roof-first.

Schindler and D'Augustine are described as best friends. Friends placed memorial markers at the crash site, including a young man who has known two of the victims since they were 6 years old.

"Dave was the sweetest, most genuine person. He just wanted to have a good life and be happy," a friend said.

"I knew them from school. Sam and David, we had classes together," a friend said.

D'Augustine was a radio technician for 744th Communications Squadron at Andrews Air Force Base, and Schindler was in the Navy, based out of Norfolk, Va.

"They were all good kids. They all did very well in school, and they all had ambitions and aspirations in life," Winters said.

The D'Augustine family released a statement on Monday: "Right now, our focus is on burying our son and meeting with the families involved. There are no words to describe the depth of our sorrow at the loss of these wonderful young people. We are still in shock at losing them and as we mourn those lost in this horrific incident, we pray for Mr. Phillips and his family. We ask for privacy during this difficult time and thank those who have shown support to our family."

"Right now, they need to be comforted in their grief and understand the hearts of many people -- our hearts go out to them," said the Rev. Karen Gould of Trinity United Methodist Church.

Police said excessive speed is believed to be a factor in the crash. They're still looking into the possibility of other contributing factors as they wait the results of autopsies and toxicology tests.
